My name is Lessthanthreee. I would consider myself a ‘senior’ member here at pokerstrategy.com. After receiving my starting capital a little over 12 months ago, I quickly moved up the Turbo SnG ranks at FTP (under the screen name ‘lessonthree’) blogging my experiences along the way (My Blog). Now I am playing the 36s-120s on a daily basis for a living. Recently I moved house and a large percentage of my BR went towards moving expenses. In order to maintain my BRM I had to move back down to the lower mid-stakes where I felt comfortable with the swings relative to my BR. I am looking to get some backing to quickly move back up to the 60s-120s. Please see below for a full explanation of what I can offer.

I will be selling pieces of my action at the $55+5 Turbo games on FTP in 200 game blocks. This means you will purchase a % of my winnings for these set games. I will be selling up to 35% of myself in each block and this will be sold on a ‘first come first served’ basis. For this I will be charging a 1% mark-up as I am a professional player, a long-term proven winner over 13,000+ games, and so the risks to you are lower than if you, for example, chose to stake a small stakes grinder who wanted to take a shot.

Ok lesson, so exactly how will the stake work?

The total cost of each 200 game block = $60x200 = $12,000

You can purchase 0.25% of my action or more and this will be an up front cost to you:

All games will be cross-checked with both sharkscope and my personal HEM database (we all know SS tends to miss games sometimes, so I will be cross-checking both to make sure the correct 200 game block is recorded properly)

To clarify, this is ONLY for the $55+5 Turbo SnGs on FTP. I will be playing other limits at the same time, however you will only have a piece of my action at this limit.

There is obviously a lot of variance in 200 games, however with this variance comes ample opportunity for high returns with relatively low risk (as I am a proven winner and a well respected member of the community).

You may reserve action by replying in this thread with the amount you wish to purchase. You MUST then also send me a private message to receive further information. Failure to PM me in a timely manner will result in the forfeit of your reservation.

I have been staked before on these games by a number of well respected SnG players on pokerstrategy.com and other SnG communities. A few people that have successful financial agreements with me in the past are:

Chenny8888, Wasy8, Demonic226, Kvaughan, Lennonac, NamenIos

I was fortunate enough to return 21.1% to these backers on my previous staking deal. Here is a screenshot to support that.

I am also a professional hand evaluator on the basic and silver SnG forums.

Q&A:Feel free to ask any questions in this thread and I will add them to this list.

Q: Lesson, If you are a winning player with a roll why are you selling action?
A: I recently moved house, and therefore had to withdraw a large proportion of my roll to cover expenses. I am selling off some action to cushion myself while I move back up to the high stakes.

Q: Why are you charging a mark-up?
A: This stake is an opportunity for you guys to buy a piece of a proven winning player at the 60s. There is less risk involved while still providing a significant opportunity for high returns.

Q: When will this start?
A: I will be giving exactly 1 week for backers to finalise their payments, after this week is finished, I will inform all the backers of the starting point to the stake. This will be in the form of a screen-shot of shark-scope and my HEM data-base so you can track the next 200 game block that you have bought into. I will be updating the title of this thread to indicate when the buy-in period for the current 200 game block will finish.

Q: If I miss out, will you be doing this again?
A: Yes, I will be doing this on a 200 game block basis, so you can buy into the next 200 game block if you miss out. However, I will no longer be selling any action once I am comfortable with my BR enough to sustain myself at these stakes again.

Q: Is there a maximum to how much I can buy?
A: You can buy up to the full 35%, however I designed the small pieces (0.25%) so that every member, even those with small BRs, have an opportunity to buy a piece if they wish.

If you are interested please send me a private message in the community section.

Even though this is of course a serious matter, I'm interested of buying a very small piece just for fun and because I only just started playing 5$ SnG's with 50 BI so can't really spare a lot. Sent you a friend request, hope you will accept a 30$ staking or maybe 60$ (lol sounds so lame). Let's hope you run godly during these 200 games and lets hope you reply quickly.
